Engine Oil Level
The 2014 RZR XP 1000 engine has a wet-sump design,
meaning the engine oil is contained in the bottom of the
crankcase. To check the oil level, follow the procedure
listed below:
Access the oil dipstick through the opening in front of the
passenger rear tire.
Access the oil fill cap through the cargo box access
panel.
Polaris recommends the use of PS-4 Synthetic or PS-4
Extreme Duty Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil.
Recommended Engine Oil:
PS-4 (PN 2876244)
Ambient Temp Range: -35° F to 100° F
PS-4 Extreme Duty (PN 2878920)

. Remove the dipstick and
wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick and push it into place. Do not
lock the dipstick
NOTE: Make certain the dipstick is inserted all
the way into the dipstick tube to keep the depth
of the dipstick consistent.

6. Add the recommended oil as necessary to bring the
oil level within the SAFE range on dipstick. Do not
overfill (see NOTE below).
NOTE: A rising oil level between checks during

weather operation can indicate
contaminants such as gas or moisture collecting
in the crankcase. If the oil level is over the upper
mark, change the oil immediately.
